Auto Upholstery Sewing Machine Operator

Auto Tops and Trim
Shelby, NC Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 8/20/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/16/2026

Up to $200 a day, and more for the right person.

Auto Tops and Trim has been trimming cars in Monroe since 1989. This is a working trim shop, not a counter job.

We are looking for a sewer. The machine is the hardest seat in the shop to fill and the one we most want filled. If you have run an industrial sewing machine - automotive, marine or furniture - you can start here as soon as you can walk in, and we will pay properly for it.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

- Sewing panels, seams, piping, pleats and diamond work

- Working clean off a pattern

- Convertible tops, vinyl tops, headliners and full interiors

- Leather, vinyl and cloth

WHAT MATTERS MOST HERE

- You turn up, on the days you said you would

- You take care with someone else's vehicle

- You would rather do it twice than hand back something crooked

- You are willing to learn the parts you do not know yet

Every job goes out the door finished in this shop. No work is sent out.

HOW TO APPLY

Call (980) 385-8101, email contact@autotopsandtrim.com, or come by the shop - in person is best. Bring something you have made, or photographs of it.

4209 W Hwy 74, Monroe, NC 28110
